Michiel, Steve, und Nathan,

If those beautiful, innocent scenes are illegal, I wonder what my shots
taken during the Algerian/ French/Police Riots in Paris  would be?

They show Paris police swinging batons and lead-weighted capes. Victims
scalp, eyeballs hanging . Blood running down arms, through cobblestones
and into sewer gratings.

Several photo services refused to buy my pictures.  They were B&W, taken
with my Leica IIIf with 50mm Summicron on Tri-X

I suggest that  you should look up the Police Riots and the Algerian
Riots in
Wikipedia.(sp?)

What makes your pictures illegal and mine unprintable?
